Are their sources discussing and documenting this effect? This is the first time I've seen this. My intuition tells me that moderate to hard riding is nearly the same as moderate to hard lifting. I gotta believe that leg presses are similar to my powering the bike and my butt up a 15% hill. It's working the legs, back, arms ...., and stressing all the associated bones. Please tell me more
